KEMARK NO.2 LTD
PLANNING HISTORY
The subject lands benefit from planning approval (Ref: LA03/2018/0917/F) on the 17th April 2019 for development of 1no. Storage and Distribution Centre (Class B4) and 3no. Light Industrial Units (Class B2) associated car parking, site access from Doagh Road, landscaping and all associated site and access works. Kemark No. 2 Ltd. have erected 2no. light industrial units from the approval bringing employment opportunities to the local area. Further to the approval there have been 2no. planning applications submitted and approved, to vary conditions of the original approval previously mentioned under (Ref: LA03/2022/0726/F) and (Ref: LA03/2024/0704/S54). The subject site has permission for a c.14,500sqm (155,500sqft) storage and distribution centre, of c. 14m in height.
KEMARK NO.2 LTD
PROPOSAL
Instead of delivering 1no Storage and Distribution unit at c.155,500sqft, the proposal intends to deliver a comparable amount of employment floorspace within 3no units. This is primarily to accommodate the operational needs of DHL who have specified a requirement for a bespoke storage and distribution hub of c.6,500 sqm/ 70,000sqft.
To promote choice and to attract additional business end users to the Borough, it is proposed to erect an additional 2no units of varying size at 3,400sqm/37,000sqft and 4,350sqm/47,000sqft

By breaking up the approved floor space into 3 smaller buildings, the positions of the building can be adjusted to increase separation distances from the housing adjacent to Doagh Road. The below images and cross section overlay provide a comparison of the proposed scheme against the approval. In addition, the proposed heights of the storage units have also been lowered. The approved building height was 14m, whereas the proposed heights are now between c.10.5 – 11.5m (see Table below for initial floor to ridge heights).
